Next up Francesco Capozza presents "Who Should Get Money? Estimating Welfare Weights in the U.S.". This paper performs experiments to elicit welfare weights. To me this is again very relevant to "Informational Boundaries of the State" where we explore this question in context of energy subsidies.

Give people housing and they'll have kids!
Obtaining housing increases the average probability of having a child by 3.8% and the number of children by 3.2%.
For 20 to 25-year-olds, the corresponding effects are 32% and 33%.

I think that both sides of the debate are quick to conclude. I think whether gift giving (as opposed to cash) increases welfare is an empirical question. Deadweight loss is just one side of the equation. There's also search costs involved in finding a gift.
One more thing about the gift-giving nonsense (I should resist the temptation).
I am not necessarily worse off with a gift than cash to buy it if the gift comes bundled with the thought that someone else put into what to buy me, which I care about, possibly more than the object itself.
